Influence of Substrate Temperature on the Growth of AlGaAs/GaAs Quantum Well Heterostructures by Organometallic Vapor Phase Epitaxy

Abstract
The growth of AlGaAs/GaAs quantum well heterostructures by organometallic vapor phase epitaxy has been investigated over a range of substrate temperature from 500°C to 700°C. Low temperature photoluminescence from single quantum wells less than 150Å in width has been observed at low excitation levels. Evidence of a graded heterostructure interface was observed in samples grown at higher substrate temperatures.
